Coagulation tests on admission correlate with mortality and morbidity in general ICU-patients : an observational study
BACKGROUND: It is well known that low platelet count on admission to intensive care units (ICU) is associated with increased mortality. However, it is unknown whether prothrombin time (PT-INR) and activated partial thromboplastin time (APTT) on admission correlate with mortality and organ failure. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate if PT-INR and APTT at admission can predict outco
